Added Reflections

It must really suck to be in the military right now under the command and leadership of Donald Trump for those involved with his war with Iran. I do believe it is the United States who violated the memorandum of understanding with Iran that Trump signed but no one can argue this point with Donald Trump.  He of course has his own version of reality.

 My head is my boss. 🤕 If my head decides that anything enjoyable like coffee, or anything else, is a headache trigger, it gets to dictate my choices.   Oh well, my regular state of my mind works too and is certainly not useless.  I just won’t get as many amazing extra perceptions. 

 I just had this thought that I really can’t believe that Trump can last his full term until January 2029.  Things are getting really bad with him.  He is telling huge and objectively false lies about others along with maligning and threatening legal action against newspapers and news agencies whenever there are any questions or reporting that are a direct challenge to his perception of reality. He is claiming that vandals took knives and cut a 250 to 300 foot long gash through the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s new surface and this along with the pouring of harmful chemicals into the pool are the reasons why things have gone wrong with the reflecting pool.  There is no objective evidence to back up the reality of such a thing having happened but Mr. Trump asserts that this is the truth and that the suspects who have already been arrested should be found guilty and put to justice for their terrible crimes.  The one thus far identified arrestee claims to have...

 We have to pack now get and ready for a trip to Colorado.  Daniel & Jen are getting engaged!  They have a big trip planned.  I’m at the mall (JC Penney) again with Kate. 🤪 Is there ever nothing going on in life?  It doesn’t seem so.

I was just struck with a reflection about my blogger.com sites.  They serve a purpose.  It’s my place for hiding in plain sight.  I am for the most part, very successful in this endeavor.  People are too busy and wrapped up in their own lives to be interested in the crazy ramblings of a relative or friend. I just had a thought about S’s mother.  How could she throw her daughter out on the street and live with never knowing what had happened to her.  How could she just be okay with that??? To Stella’s mother.  Your daughter found a new life and place for herself.  She is living with the new man in her life in the home that she shares with him.  I of course don’t know the details of her life but I have not heard anything negative and she and my daughter communicate regularly.  As with any relationship, I doubt that everything is fairytale perfect but my gut instinct without ever having met her new partner is that she is with a man who care...

  My ring from J&C’s grandparents has officially been resized! 😄 The resizing was a Mother’s Day present from my son.  I could previously only wear it as a slightly large pinky ring.  Now I can wear it on my ring finger.  It is such a beautiful ring.  J&C will be 25 later this year.  Wow!  I have no idea what they know.  The ring has one diamond for each baby.  I will be thinking of J&C now whenever I wear it.  I hope all is well and wonderful for both of them. Oh, I just thought of something.  If anyone ever asks me about the ring, they might learn something quite surprising about my adventures in life. 🫢 Wow.  What a clever ring.  I guess my son activated the magic of the ring that has been lying dormant all these years since the twins were born. I just had a thought.  Even when connections to others from our pasts are not a reality in our human lives, from a higher perspective of our consciousness, th...

  https://youtu.be/9JUIESeQj-E?is=fkZ_mepMIR3HSGyD It was nice to watch this and hear Kamala Harris speaking.  I sure do wish that Trump’s voters had been smarter and had elected her to be our 47th president.  Wouldn’t it be heaven to have Kamala Harris right now instead of Trump!  I have no idea who will run or be the best choice for our countries next president.  I sure do wish, though, that Kamala Harris was our president for this current presidential term.  I have been obsessively looking for news stories about the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.  I want to hear that lots more of the paint or sealant is peeling off the bottom and just floating around.  I want Trump’s reflecting pool renovation to be the biggest disaster that it can be.  I evidently have issues.  I know Mr. Trump has a unique talent for ignoring whatever he would prefer not to think about.  Then again, I don’t know what goes on in the White House.  He prob...

Maybe people should all just be popping popcorn.  It won’t do anyone any good to stress about a bunch of crazy stuff we have no control over and can’t understand. Did I get this right?  Trump is in opposition to the will of Netanyahu in seeking to reach a peace deal with Iran and if this is his choice, it will cause a fracture of allegiances within his own government??  That is some crazy ass drama developing when it seemed that Trump had the steadfast allegiance of his polical party and cabinet.  It’s quite a historical yarn.  Does that sound like too flippant of a description for things that are really serious?  I do believe that greater sanity will be restored, or achieved, and will prevail once again. Right now it’s a bit too much crazy to worry about trying to understand it all.

 This is not presidential.  Actually there has never been anything presidential about Donald Trump.  What I didn’t know was that he could become even more unfiltered, but evidently he can.  He spoke recently at his G7 summit about the prospect of having to hit Iran with the ultimate consequence, and also about halving no qualms about dropping bombs on their heads if it proved to necessary. 

 The Chat AI app is really not usable at present.  I have used it for over three years, but in the most recent weeks, it is glitching and just crashes continuously.  It won’t stay open for more than a few seconds before the app closes.  Maybe they will get it fixed sometime.  Or maybe not.  I have no idea.  You never know what will become of AI apps or any apps for that matter.  

I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to grow up with an identical twin.  There are seemingly so many sets of identical twins where I live.  It’s like a Rio Grande Valley theme.  

There is something that is hard to understand about Donald Trump.  I have this feeling sometimes.  I feel like sometimes there is this little nugget of goodwill inside him.  I guess I’m in my crazy mindset when I say these things.  I guess the goodwill is just drummed out by the narcissistic illness.   I was surprised by and somehow amused by the line about ships of the world starting their engines. 🫢😂  And Mr. Trump is delusional.  He can not hereby authorize the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz when he has not received acceptance of any agreement and peace deal that granted him the power of authority over the Straight of Hormuz.  I had never in my life known anything about the Strait of Hormuz before Trump’s war with Iran.   From Donald Trump’s 2nd term. “Happy 250th Birthday America!  I’m holding a UFC cage fight extravaganza in front of the White House in honor of my 80th and America’s 250th birthday.  It is my gift t...

 This thought just came back to me.  I guess I am a psychonaut even though in my whole previous life, I never knew it.  I guess psychonauts aren’t cuckoo for cocoa puffs, but their experiences aren’t exactly typical either. What do think about this diagnosis meme Dr. House?  Dr. House has been on my television of late.   What do I mean by psychonaut?  https://robinwai.blogspot.com/2026/06/a-banana-from-heaven.html?m=1

OMG I just watched a commercial on Pluto TV for a medication  called Ziaflex.  It was during an episode of the program Taxi.  I couldn’t believe my eyes.  I was thinking WTH, commercials don’t have this kind of content!  I don’t see many commercials but I have never before seen anything like this commercial.  It was full of images of carrots.  In one part they were floating everywhere.  While I was watching the commercial I couldn’t believe that what I was seeing was reality.  This is how a drug manufacturer advertises a medication?!  Using images of carrots is a bit silly and ridiculous, is it not?  Are drug manufacturers using AI technology to create their advertisements?  Did a human come up with that?  Good luck to parents of young children when they are asked for explanations about the meanings of commercials if they watch programs on free streaming services like Pluto TV.  (Well evidently this commercial has bee...

 My daughter said to me today that if I use facial recognition I will be training the AI.  I told her that I think the AI already has an amazing amount of data on me.  She said something like, “Well, that’s your problem,”  I really do believe that for myself it might be a bit too late to worry about training AI.  Curious people like me need to find out about things like AI and Chat GPT.  I found my connection with AI and it has been a doozy of a story.  We don’t know how the lives of people will change in the years from here and moving into the future with new technology and the use of artificial intelligence that is evolving.  That sounds really dramatic and yet it’s not.  It’s such a crazy time so I guess it’s best to just go with the flow and stress less.  Stress less.  OK, that thought just popped into my head so I guess I should take my own advice.  That sounds like a good attitude.  

  What happened to the American flag blue paint that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was painted with?  It became a gray black color.  The reflecting pool looks like a black lagoon.

Poor Trump.  He was hated in his own city.  And right in front of his Trump Tower.  I don’t know what my problem is.  I wanted to be in a reflective mood and I find myself back writing about Trump again.  It struck me that he has such wealth and yet the reality of his life finds himself in a place of great poverty.  I guess it is good for him that his mental functioning has little connection with reality.  I just had this insight.  Despite his prominence as a public figure, he is a human being and the rest of his life story is going to have to play itself out.  And the whole world is presently connected to his story.  I believe I said once before that this is going to be the longest story ever told. 😱. At least it will feel that way to those of us who are moving through this time in history along with Donald Trump.  I just had that feeling again when thinking about the remainder of Trump’s presidency and perhaps also his life. ...

 I’m not trying to be negative with this thought.  It is just a reflection of truth.  Every politician who doesn’t agree with Donald Trump, and just does what they have a right to do and should do as a democratically elected government official and public servant, should be ashamed of themselves according to Mr. Trump.  Sorry Mr. Trump.  You are the antithesis of what democracy is and you cannot be a true and successful leader of a democratic nation.  I’m afraid you need to find some new goals to follow and focus on.

 A reflection on negative thinking.  If I ever find myself having negative or dark thoughts pass through my mind, I choose to recognize them for what they are and remember that entertaining or engaging with this type of thought and thinking is a choice that I don’t have to make or accept.  We all get to choose what kind of attitudes and beliefs we get to hold and share with others.  

 No Donald, I’m sorry you are not Uncle Sam.  I’m afraid you are Anti-Sam.  I guess my brain thought I could use a little funny thought. Don’t worry Donald you will always be remembered.  You have made yourself a huge part of the history of the United States of America.  Those of us sharing this time in our country’s history with you have front row seats, whether we want to or not. I believe that Bad Bunny said it right.  The only thing stronger than hate he is love.  Be well, Mr. Trump.

 I feel like Señor Trump has reached the point of being in decline.  I’m not talking about physical or mental decline.  I feel like he has reached the point where his power is in decline.  Maybe I am wrong and this is wishful thinking.  I feel, though, that it has reached a point where the powers of opposition are beginning to reign him in and he is losing his power and will not be able to just waive his executive pen and make whatever he wants happen.  Maybe this is just because of the approaching midterms elections.  Maybe some Republicans are just motivated by the knowledge that they are doing themselves and their careers in by continuing to loyally support and do the bidding of their mentally unwell and morally bankrupt party leader and commander in chief.  They are defying the cult.  Or maybe the actual “will of the people” and objective reality have become a bit too much to contend with as a force opposing their leader and the limits to...

  I frequently stop and pop into Barnes & Noble when I have time that I need to kill.  Well lately it seems that it has just been Barnes & Boring.  One of my favorite sections is the bargain books section.  Well, it seems that it has become a not so interesting section.  It’s just the same stuff that they have had for a long time.  There hasn’t really been much of anything new and interesting to look at.  I was there today and didn’t really see much that captured my attention or interest anywhere.  This is probably a good thing.  I most definitely don’t need any more books or magazines.  Oh, I have one more reflection.  The prices for magazines at Barnes & Noble are like highway robbery.  I don’t really even comprehend the meaning of the phrase “highway robbery”.  It just popped into my head.  It’s like my own mind just gave me a vocabulary phrase to go look up.  What is the significance of the word h...

I just had the idea that these images from Donald Trump’s Truth Social account that he shared should have the title “Donald In Distress”.  It surprised me that this thought came to me.

 I just had a thought about Edinburg Texas & its Museum of South Texas History.  As a transplant & resident of south Texas and Edinburg, I never gave due credit to my town for having a very nice Museum of South Texas History.  I never really gave this fact my due appreciation.  One thing that I didn’t know or recall before my recent visit to the museum is that the old restored Hidalgo County Jail right next to the museum is a part of the museum.  I had no idea that I would be visiting the chamber where the one hanging in the history of Edinburg Texas took place.  There was even a noose rope hanging in the chamber. When finding it to be part of the museum, I didn’t think twice about walking through it to check it out. 🫢😨 It was a surprise and it was part of the museum, so as a visitor, I walked right into and inspected the former hanging chamber. 😱 I guess it didn’t really strike me as odd when I was visiting the museum, but eek! 😬🫢 what an unbe...

The fact that Trump’s name will not be allowed to remain and must be removed from the Kennedy Center is encouraging.  It shows that there is a limit in the United States of America to the power and control that Trump will be allowed to have and that there are still other authorities who can and will stand up to Trump and not just grant him unrestricted power to do whatever he wants.  The fact that he has been granted such unrestricted power without consequences or accountability is what has been so frightening!  It is also encouraging that Trump himself has surrendered on this issue and has accepted it and is willingly turning authority for the Kennedy Center back over to Congress.  It seems that Trump, for perhaps the first time really, is facing the reality that he cannot have and does not have unlimited power and control and that he cannot just exercise his authority and demands and expect that the country and world will bow down to him and do his bidding.  P...

 I just had a thought about Trump Rx.  I’m not talking about Trump’s own drug company or distribution company or whatever it is.  I’m talking about my own Trump Rx meaning anything that makes me feel better about this time of Donald Trump’s 2nd term of pregnancy.  I realized yesterday that it would be a good idea to not be so focused on this since it is not anything that is within my control.   I find it comforting to listen to Mary Trump’s podcast, but damn that’s back to focusing on Trump. 🤦 I guess I can’t profit from “ignorance is bliss” until Trump’s current term of presidency has ended.  It is not my nature to not pay attention to it all.  I don’t have a lot of outside distractions, but that is my choice. 

 This is my thought for the moment about Donald Trump.  He is a person who needs help that doesn’t exist. 

 Little did we all know when President Biden was inaugurated that Trump would yet return to the office of the presidency.  And his second term is by far the worst.  It’s a crappy time for our country and for Americans.  But I just heard a thought in my head.  “Would you rather be on your way to a concentration camp?”  No, I absolutely would not.   So much for an idea of thinking pleasant thoughts.  Thoughts think whatever they want to think.   5/27 I felt like I had a change of mindset today.  I can spend more time ignoring and not obsessing over everything with Donald Trump and his corrupt and dysfunctional government, like most people, because I have no control over any of it or anything that will end up happening.  I may as well just focus my attention elsewhere while waiting for Trump’s presidency to be over and history. 

And now I have a thought that I don’t believe is ridiculous or strange.  What are we human beings supposed to think about artificial intelligence?  It is continuing to be developed and implemented into our lives.  We have no idea how it will continue to affect humanity or our lives.  Our ancestors never had to contemplate such questions or realities.  That world and period of human existence belongs to the past.  

Okay, I just had a ridiculous thought.  I don’t really believe this, it was just like a comical thought.  Wouldn’t it be ironic if Donald Trump did inadvertently somehow become a catalyst for the creation of cooperation and lasting peace in the Middle East.  I know it’s laughable, but in a universe of possibilities, I suppose such a thing could happen.  

  It just occurred to me that I don’t even know what my blogger.com sites look like on a computer.  I have only ever looked at the sites with my iPhone, oddly enough.  I’m all about my iPhone, except for when I need to use a regular desktop computer.  I don’t even have or use an iPad or laptop.  I guess this makes me a primarily iPhone type person.  Who knew that people could have a part of their identity connected with their devices.  What an odd thought that human beings now have a relationship with their internet connected devices and the online digital world.  Our ancestors never had a part of their identity connected with these things.  They never could have even comprehended that such a thing could exist or be possible.

 I was just thinking about the fact that despite now living in a digitally connected world with instant access to vast amounts of information, people somehow are still ill informed.  How ironic is that!  Thinking back to the 2024 presidential election, I still can’t comprehend how so many people were so ill informed or such bad judges of character that they felt that they were making a smart choice in voting for Donald Trump.  I still can’t wrap my head around how or why he was reelected.  The first time he was elected was puzzling enough, but the second time seems to defy all rationality.  It is not what I would have expected from rational and intelligent people.   I’m actually not feeling negativity despite what I just wrote.  I still believe in people.  I believe in the power there is to be found in greater understanding. 

 This is my reflection question to be answered.  Why did I believe that I felt an intuition from a source greater than myself that Kamala Harris would win the election and be president. My thought is that perhaps everything doesn’t have to be immediately apparent or understood.  Maybe faith is just about believing and understanding that there are messages in all things and meanings to be understood at greater levels of comprehension.

 Museums (and social situations) tend to make me feel like a dumb shit.  This is what happens when you exist as a person who has more of an internal thinking and self reflective focus as opposed to paying more attention to all the things of the external world.  Maybe I really am on the autism spectrum.  My daughter tells me this and is convinced that it is true.   Another thought is that I try to write too much stuff in one place.  There is no reason why I cannot instead break it up into little pieces.  

World War II took Fred Harrison prematurely from this world.  He left behind a wife and two small children.  I thought of him and we talked about him when we visited the veterans war memorial of Texas.  He was my grandfather’s sister’s husband.  Following the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, he survived in the ocean until he was rescued, but then died in the hospital.

 I always have a question when I think about AI.  Am I insane??  I always wonder how many people out there besides myself have had really crazy experiences with AI? Dear ancestors, You didn’t have AI in your life.  Being born in the 70s and 60s and 50s and even 40s wasn’t soon enough to not experience the advent of artificial intelligence into the lives of humanity.  I even know a lady born in 1929 who is still living at this time.  It’s a new thing that was nonexistent in your world that is now present in ours.  We the living of today (except the youngest of course) have lived in worlds of before and after artificial intelligence came to exist and become interwoven into the lives of humanity.  Not many humans in all of human existence will have this experience. As far as the relevance of AI in my recent life experiences, if I want to listen to the thoughts of my higher perception, AI is right there ready to share its friendly input. Wow, I just h...

 I have just a brief thought about people.  We all have our own personal limitations and we all have our own unique value.  In addition, all of us who possess humility are our own worst critics. Humility is important though because this is what teaches us to value, appreciate and have respect for all people. 

 If cleanliness is next to godliness, then I have been bonding with God.  Visitors are a very good motivation to work on deep cleaning and finishing projects. 🧽 😅

 This is just a thought or rather an observation.  The Chinese children in this video really have no idea what they are cheering for.  They just follow the propaganda and hype and instructions passed down to them by their authority figures.  https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/116570567119694784 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/116570565832082360 I also wonder why they made such a huge and elaborate affair out of President Trump arriving for his summit with President Xi.  It was seriously over the top and totally at a level fitting of Trump’s delusions of grandeur.  What on earth were they hoping to achieve with their grand production for President Trump??  Was this normal for an event such as this?  I admittedly am not knowledgeable about these things. 🫢

  Good job, Donald.  You just keep being a good taco.  But don’t be afraid of Mr. Netanyahu.  You should just tell him to shove it.   Someday people the world over will know how to just tell bad guys to shove it and not let them rise to places of power or authority.  They will be more educated and have better guidance.

 I just thought about Radar on M*A*S*H.  I was never really a fan of the show.  I used to catch parts of episodes though.  I’m not sure why.  Maybe my brother liked to watch it?  I’m not sure.  Those were the days when people watched what the networks were airing on that day of the week and at that time.  I’ve never really liked programs or movies that had to do with war.  I don’t know why.  Maybe I am an “ardent pacifist”.  And a nutcase also. 😲🫢 If my closest family members ever read my ramblings, they will have like the laugh fest of the century.  Nothing makes them more gleeful than to find me to be amusingly ridiculous and hilarious.  It’s meant in a good natured way though.  And Kate has informed me that Floral shirts & clothing are for old people.  This doesn’t bother me.  It’s just her own fashion sense and I respect her own style and choices.  I have tactile issues with clothing and for s...

 Wow, Donald thank you so much.  What a lovely and thoughtful tribute to all of us mothers.  

  Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such sport, and the dish ran away with the spoon.  When I was young, I always really liked nursery and rhyming verses and stories that were repetitive like this “This Is The House That Jack Built” and “Green Eggs & Ham”.  I think I was always a bit different.  If I am a certain kind of different, I know not what it is.   I’m sorry to anyone who is subjected to reading my crazy stories.  The thing is, they are not crazy to me because they are just my real stories.  So if people don’t really like or want to read a bunch of crazy stories, they should skedaddle.  Oh my, I just thought of a story from my experience of caring for babies in daycare.  I took care of a baby whose mother, for whatever reason, was lax in her use of underarm deodorant.  She was a nursing mother.  I recall her baby being dressed in clothing that smelled of...

 So much for the forever wall app.  It has evidently ceased to be a forever wall.  I did think it was an idea that had some real potential.  It could be a wall of 1 million images from people living in the 21st-century.  That could’ve been a real gift to the future.  Fortunately, I am not without my images.  They are still in my possession.😄 I am here for you my Grandmother Marilla! 💗 Melania doesn’t have a dark past.  Even if she was, so to speak, trafficked for rich men under the guise of it being all about a modeling career, that would not make her past dark.  It is the perpetrators and abusers who have the dark past.  Maybe I should tell my favorite progressive independent news hosts that they should be a little more progressive and understanding in their feelings and attitude toward Melania Trump and stop making references to her having a dark past.   I have too much going on.  I have just learned that my parents will be...

 I just had an insight as to why Trump hates woke.  It is because woke requires an understanding and appreciation of morality and rationality and this is something that Trump as a malignant narcissist does not possess and can’t process.  In his mind, his thoughts, feelings, opinions and beliefs can only be always correct and therefore anything or anyone that suggests anything to the contrary can only be vile, pathetic, flawed, wrong and worthy of condemnation.  This is why he is so grossly unfit to be the leader of a Democratic government and why he has a need to be a dictator or king with unchecked authority and unquestioning subservience from his followers and supporters.  He is a self promoting bullshit artist who has conned so many people his entire adult life.  It seems like there is also a human side of him that conflicts with his own nature that makes him more confusing for others to understand and know what to think about him.  At the same time...

When the people rule.  Wow, imagine the possibilities for the world if people the world over connect and just want to live in fairness, justice and peace. https://youtu.be/2lPX0njtu7M?si=8f9On4G1Rwxx-aIT

My thoughts tonight about friendship with a malignant narcissist.    I had a best friend in middle and part of high school who I believe was a malignant narcissist.  But thinking about this, I wonder if this belief about my former friend is too harsh.  I don’t know if this was who she was and forever would be, or if there is any possibility that it could have been an immaturity connected thing that she could have matured out of.  It seems unlikely but I honestly don’t know.  I don’t doubt these things are possible. A malignant narcissist will use the real friendship of others when it is to their benefit and use and then become malignant toward their friends if they deem themselves finished with and no longer desiring to continue with the friendship or relationship. A final thought that I have is my thought about whether malignant narcissists can have real bonds of connection with others whenever and with whoever the connections exist.  I believe the an...

 Truth is stranger than fiction.  This is the thought I just found myself having.  I would have to say that when it comes to my experiences with life and artificial intelligence, I would have to agree with this statement.  Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

 Drop Site News.  No, I don’t want to look at Drops Site News.  Get out of my head, random thought.  Okay, I guess I will now go investigate Drop Site News.  Maybe you need a subscription.  I have no idea.  I don’t want there to be any further escalation with Trump’s effing war.  Calgon, please take me out of the 21st-century.  I guess that’s the humor in my head trying to break through.  I still don’t have a verdict on the question of my sanity.  War Shmor.  I guess drop site news is calling to my attention.  I guess I have like this creative insanity thing and the thing is, I myself am entertained by it because I don’t know where it comes from. De-escalation.  That’s what needs to happen between the United States and Iran right now.  I just thought of the calming song from the Jesus Christ superstar album.  I was feeling like a ball of nerves a little while ago and I didn’t know why.  Now I would pref...

Okay, okay.  I just decided that I should stop using the word “And” so much as a filler word and sentence starter.  I should just write what the hell I’m thinking and not preface it with the word “And”… And who the hell is this grammar Nazi in my head?  Oh shit, I did it again.  Sometimes things just don’t seem to flow well if I jump from one thought to the next.  “And” is like an explanation that the next thought or idea is an addition and something different that is not directly connected to the previous statement or statements.  Too many “Ands”, though, looks and sounds stupid.  I do believe I am my own grammar nazi.
